Higher Faster Stronger 👟 💪
What an incredible week it has been, especially with the excitement and energy of Yr3 to Yr6 Sports Day. It was fantastic to see so many of you joining us and cheering on the students as they participated in a range of activities.
Sports Day is always a highlight of our calendar, and this year was no exception. From the smiles of our youngest athletes to the determined efforts of our older students, it was clear that everyone gave their best and enjoyed the day. A special mention must go to the highly competitive and entertaining parent race, your enthusiasm and spirit were a joy to watch.
We believe that sport plays a vital role in holistic wellbeing. It’s not just about physical fitness but also about building resilience, teamwork, and a sense of accomplishment. Sport is an integral part of our curriculum, contributing to the growth of happy, healthy, and confident learners. Days like this remind us of the power of sport to bring us together and celebrate our shared community spirit.
We hope you had a wonderful time and enjoyed the chance to connect with other families while watching your children shine. A special thank you to Mr Morley and his team for the exceptional organisation. 👏 👏
Parent - Teacher Consultations 👥
At ISB, we prioritise a comprehensive approach to reporting student development, focusing on four key areas:
Attainment: Evaluating a student's performance at a specific point in time, determined through a combination of assessments, evidence, and teacher professional judgments.
Progress: Monitoring changes in a student's attainment over time.
Achievement: Comparing a student's attainment and progress against individualised expectations, recognising that each student's journey is unique.
Wellbeing: Assessing a student's overall happiness, comfort in school, and relationships with peers and staff.
Our ethos centres on nurturing every student's full potential by collaborating closely with parents and families. We aim to foster self-reliance and enthusiasm, ensuring our students become confident, kind-hearted, resilient, and inquisitive individuals.
🗓️ We are pleased to inform you that the next Parent-Teacher Consultations are scheduled for Tuesday, 11th February, and Wednesday, 12th February. Appointments can be booked through EduLink, with the booking system opening to parents on Tuesday morning next week.
